Affairs + Technology

Are affairs becoming a more acceptable practice in society? The rate of affairs and cheating in marriages is growing at an alarming rate. According to a recent study conducted by The Journal of Marital and Family Therapy 41% of marriages reported cheating on their spouses both emotionally and physically. The average length of the affairs was recorded at two years.

With the progression of technology introducing new tools to make cheating and secrecy easier than ever many spouses find themselves caught in the web of painful affairs. Sites like Ashley Madison & How to Have an Affair offer troubled couples an escape while promising complete anonymity. 

As life unravels so do the traces of infidelity and betrayal. Often when the betrayer approaches the betrayed to disclose the affair a wave of emotions surfaces. The combination of shock, anger and disappointment felt by the betrayed partner acts is an active ingredient when mixed with the uncertainty, shame and regret felt by the betrayed. These stories sometimes play themselves out in unhealthy interactions sometimes leading to physical altercations.

Unfortunately, many marriages are unable to recover from the damage the affair has created. We believe that seeking professional counseling after your affair could possibly save your marriage. The affair recovery process is complex and challenging. It requires a strong commitment to addressing deeply rooted issues and a resolve to work at repairing the damage that has been done.
